Psalm 9 is a hymn of hope that teaches us how to hope in God's justice. In this sermon, Dr. Sadaphal provides seven key insights on how the church can pray for the Lord's perfect justice. God's justice will finally be fulfilled in the end, but that does not preclude His saints from praying for acute intervention in the midst of present injustice. Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 9:13-20. (From the series Preaching Through the Psalms, a verse-by-verse exposition of the Psalms.)

Without the resurrection, the Christian faith would not exist; neither would Christians or the Church. At the end of Matthew's gospel, we read about one of the resurrection narratives. So what is God trying to tell us in raising His Son from the dead? What does the resurrection mean, why does it matter, and what does it require of us? What is the "Great Commission" and why is it so radically important? This sermon provides clarity and meaningful answers to all these questions. Our Scripture vers...

God had one Son (Jesus) and He called His Son to be a preacher and a Bible teacher. In Jesus's first sermon, the topic was the gospel or the "good news." The response, however, to Christ's first sermon was not good; it was hostile and violent. Why? Because in explaining the gospel message, Jesus declared that God is sovereign. The sovereignty of God is the most offensive doctrine in the Bible, and it still produces hostile reactions in rebellious hearts today. In this sermon, learn what the sove...
